The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
recently awarded a Section 319 grant to the
Kane-DuPage Soil and Water Conservation
District, (KDSWCD) to organize planning and
technical committees to aid in the writing and
implementation of a watershed based plan for the
Fox River-Jelkes Creek Watershed. In conjunction
with the watershed plan, nonpoint source
education efforts will be developed to insure
that the public understands the importance of
protecting water quality within the watershed.
The watershed planning process gives community
members an opportunity to share information and
ideas to address local water quality and water
resource issues. Once completed, the watershed
plan will identify priority projects to improve
water quality within the watershed. Illinois
EPA approved watershed plans are then eligible
for state and federal grants including Clean
Water Act, Section 319 nonpoint pollution grant
funding. |
| In order to create a
comprehensive watershed plan for the area, input
from citizens, agencies, organizations,
businesses, resource professionals and elected
officials will be needed. We welcome
stakeholders in the watershe to attend initial
planning meeting and to create a Fox
River-Jelkes Creek Watershed Plan. |
